Cardiovascular Disease Among Women and Birthing Individuals After Delivering a Child With Congenital Heart Disease
Authors' conclusion
Women and birthing individuals whose children had CHD had similar rates of cardiovascular risk factors and disease at 18 to 23 years after delivery, compared to age- and sex-matched parous controls. Higher severity of child's CHD was associated with increased risk of maternal cardiovascular disease
